Suppose, household color TVs are replaced at an average age of μ = 9.0 years after purchase, and the (95% of data) range was from 5.8 to 12.2 years. Thus, the range was 12.2 − 5.8 = 6.4 years. Let x be the age (in years) at which a color TV is replaced. Assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal. (a) The empirical rule indicates that for a symmetric and bell-shaped distribution, approximately 95% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore, a 95% range of data values extending from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is often used for "commonly occurring" data values. Note that the interval from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is 4σ in length. This leads to a "rule of thumb" for estimating the standard deviation from a 95% range of data values. Estimating the standard deviationFor a symmetric, bell-shaped distribution, standard deviation ≈ range 4 ≈ high value − low value 4 where it is estimated that about 95% of the commonly occurring data…

A food manufacturer claims that eating its new cereal as part of a daily diet lowers total blood cholesterol levels. The table shows the total blood cholesterol levels (in milligrams per deciliter of blood) of seven patients before eating the cereal and after one year of eating the cereal as part of their diets. Use technology to test the mean difference. Assume the samples are random and dependent, and the population is normally distributed.

Women are recommended to consume 1790 calories per day. You suspect that the average calorie intake is smaller for women at your college. The data for the 15 women who participated in the study is shown below: 1959, 1908, 1789, 1544, 1805, 1656, 1899, 1811, 1686, 1688, 1687, 1943, 1612, 1789, 1467 Assuming that the distribution is normal, what can be concluded at the α = 0.05 level of significance?

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual.
